Outstanding, again!

Mr. Whiteman has been outstanding ever since he was retained, he understands the law, presents all the facts and is straight forward. He has represented me through my divorce, as well in several attempts of modifications to my divorce agreement. Just recently I was served yet again in a modificati...on to my divorce, Mr. Whiteman in return decided to cross motion the modification, in which the other party had and continues to have no supporting documentation. The court has ruled in my favor again. Mr. Whiteman, I thank your firm and you in particular for all that you have done. I would definitely refer anyone to you, no questions asked! Thank you again.

Modification success

After 15 years under the control of an imbalanced divorce agreement, I had finally sought out legal representation to rectify that circumstance in time for my daughter’s college. Expert advice from John guided me through a maze of point/counterpoint with my ex-wife and her attorney. Today, I finally ...have the fairness that eluded me for years. Thanks to John’s compassion, humor, and dedication, the legal process felt transparent. True collaborative result.

An Honest Attorney You Can Trust

If you are looking for an honest, realistic lawyer who will fight for his client and what is right, John Whitman is that attorney. When the attorney who was originally assigned to my case had to leave due to a change in location, I was concerned about who would take his place, and if that person wo...uld keep my best interests in mind. What started out as a source of worry, became the best thing that could happen for me, my son and my case. John Whitman was assigned to represent me, and from our first meeting, I knew I could trust him fully. He was always honest, open, realistic, and a man of his word. He delivered every thing he promised, and stood behind what he said even when times got tough. My family and I were always treated with respect, and I always felt like our interests were being protected by him. He was always there when I needed him, if I had a question, and was very dedicated to helping me and my family. I can not say enough positive words about a man who took what was the worst experience of my life, and made it a little easier for me. I would highly recommend John Whitman if you are looking for strong and honarable attorney to protect you and your family's interests.

Superior Service - Joseph Law Group

I found Joseph Law Group through a recommendation from a friend. John Whiteman was my lawyer and I found him to be excellent, trustworthy, understanding and honest. My particular case was a bit complex and John with being perceptive and professional, takes time to give rational advice to myself and t...o the opposing party. RESULTS John got me good results. I wound up with an agreement without having to go through a lengthy trial. The case was opened in April 2016, court granted re-adjustment on child support and childcare/activity expenses in December 2016, and case was officially closed out in May 2017. I was and still am satisfied about the results he provided. BILLING Joseph Law Group was extremely understanding during the billing process and in NO WAY billed me just to bill. There were few times where Joseph Law group saved me on legal fees and documented as "waived." Those type of ethics are simply not present in the legal profession today. I highly recommend Joseph Law Group and John Whiteman.
